Synthesis of high saturation magnetization and narrow linewidth Cd2+-doping NiCuZn ferrite for microwave devices application
摘要
The development of high-performance, miniaturized microwave devices necessitates ferrite materials exhibiting both high saturation magnetization (4πMs) and a narrow ferromagnetic resonance linewidth (ΔH). This study investigates the influence of Cd2+ substitution on the phase evolution, microstructure, and microwave properties of Ni0.47Zn0.45−xCdxCu0.08Fe2O4 (x = 0.00–0.10) ferrites synthesized via a solid-state reaction method. The results demonstrate that an appropriate amount of Cd2+ ions substitution significantly promotes densification while concurrently enhancing the material’s dielectric and microwave gyromagnetic characteristics. Notably, the composition with x = 0.06 demonstrates a superior combination of properties, including low porosity (1.25%), high saturation magnetization (4737.71 Gs), and a narrow ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth (ΔH) (242.81 Oe), alongside favorable dielectric (ε' = 15.5, tanδε = 0.004) and magnetic (μ' = 108.4, tanδμ = 0.065) properties. This work establishes Cd2+ substitution as an effective strategy for tailoring the gyromagnetic properties of NiCuZn ferrites for advanced microwave applications.
